According to the Kassena, the Sky Once was Close to the Earth...

The Kassena relate that in the beginning the sky [God?] was close to the ground. An old woman was about to cook, but the sky was in the way, so, in her temper, she cut off a piece and made it into soup. The sky, angered, went away to its present place.
